Papa John sues Papa John’s

Share Update:

John Schnatter, the ousted founder of pizza chain Papa John’s, is suing his former company.

In a lawsuit filed in Delaware Chancery Court on Thursday, Schnatter’s lawyers say he is seeking to inspect company documents “because of the unexplained and heavy-handed way in which the company has treated him since the publication of a story that falsely accused him of using a racial slur.”
